i got into an accident today.
with a motorcycle.
and it was not my fault!
i was on the left lane, wanting to go straight.
when the light DID turn green, of course i moved forward.
suddenly, this motorcyclist came rushing up and tried to cut me off from the right.
HELLO!? of course i will hit him!
and he went under.
he got up looking all dazed.
i was relieved that he didn't die or anything (though that would be IMPOSSIBLE seeing as i just started moving forward. so i could only have gone at 10km/h).
the worst thing was, he started screaming and shouting at me!
"Get out of the car! You better get out of the car!"
ok, i am not that stupid. i didn't get out.
but he had this murderous look on his face.
he was dressed in a raggedy t-shirt and shorts.
he looked like kalimuthu (not that i know how kalimuthu looks like. but i would imagine, he looked like that).
he asked me to pay him RM50 for the damages that HE caused.
And guess what...i paid him.
Because I was scared sh*tless. i panicked.
even though, if you look at my drawing, there was a police station just a few meters away.
dumb, huh?
so, what i COULD have done:
- argue with him --> which could potentially get me killed, cause i don't know if he had a knife in his shorts or something
- go to the police station --> which i didn't because i panicked. and i needed to get to work.
- give him RM10 instead of RM50 and just claim that was all i have --> THIS one i didn't do just out of sheer panic and dumbness.
the damage?
- traumatised at the fact that there are people out there who are evil and would take advantage of others.
- my bumper came out a bit.
i feel very sad that there are people like that outside there. i know he took the opportunity, seeing that i was a woman driver. and i was alone. but that was just evil.
stupid a**.
as for the RM50...the Chinese says, "small investment to ward off other evil". yups.
i had to be responsible over my life, as i am going to get married.
